From kde-devel Thu Jan 31 01:11:39 2002 From: Waldo Bastian Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 01:11:39 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: Bug Tracking System & Attachments. X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=101243952005572 FYI The KDE bugtracking system has no understanding of the concept of "attach= ment"=20 which means that attachments stored in the bugtracking system are basical= ly=20 not retrievable. Since that is a situation that is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon, I th= ought=20 it would be better to reject attachments to start with. I was reaffirmed = in=20 this thought recently when someone decide to send along a core-dump of=20 several MB since he thought that would be usefull for me to track down a = bug. It must be said that the html page of this particular bug on bugs.kde.org= =20 served later as a great benchmark for khtml but for practical purposes th= is=20 is rather inconvenient. So now a few perl lines further and bugs.kde.org being down for an aftern= oon I=20 am happy to announce that bugs.kde.org works again and that you will get = the=20 message below when you send an unreasonable large message to bugs.kde.org= =2E=20 Unreasonable large happens to be everything larger than 1000 lines. Which= is=20 equivalent to an attachment of about 50Kb or so. I hope you appreciate it.

This is the qmail-send program at master.kde.org. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following address= es. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. : Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately your message is too large for the KDE bug-tracking system to be processed. This may be caused by an attachment. Please do not send attachments to the bug-tracking system, instead store the files that you want to send on a safe place on your harddisk and mention in your bugreport that you have additional information available on request. When this information is needed, a developer will contact you and will ask you to send the files to him or her in private email. This procedure will also ensure that possible private information that might be contained in core-dumps, screenshots or logfiles will not be publicly available through the KDE bug-tracking system. Alternatively you may also choose to publish additional information on a website or ftp-site and mention the url in your bugreport. Please note that it may take several months before a developer needs this additional information. You will be automatically notified when your bug-report has been handled. For now, your message HAS NOT BEEN PROCESSED, please resend according to the instructions above. --- Below this line is a copy of the message. =2E...copy of original message... --=20 bastian@kde.org | SuSE Labs KDE Developer | bastian@suse.com >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
